A drone transport system has a carrier pod adapted for carrying a passenger or parcels with the passenger or parcels enclosed, the carrier pod having a first attachment interface at an uppermost extremity, the attachment interface having one or first physical attachment elements, and a flight-enabled drone having a downward-facing second attachment interface having one or more second physical attachment elements compatible with the first physical attachment elements of the carrier pod. The flight-enabled drone is controllable to approach the carrier pod from above, to align and engage the second physical attachment elements with the first physical attachment elements, to lift and carry the pod from one place to another, and to land and disengage the first and second physical attachment elements, leaving the carrier pod at a new place.
